Tj Oshie revisits Sochi shootout as he moves toward the broadcast booth

While appearing on Spittin' Chiclets, tj oshie revisited his 2014 Olympic shootout against Russia in Sochi and reflected on how that moment fits with a growing presence in broadcast conversations about the Games.

Tj Oshie breaks down the Sochi shootout

Oshie said he knew he would be one of the three shooters chosen for the shootout against Russia in Sochi in 2014, and that confidence shaped his approach on the ice. He recalled that the summer before, at the world championships, he had shot five times, which left him comfortable with the format and the rules.

How the shootout unfolded, in his words

He described the moment before each attempt: no new instructions were given, so he relied on a coach’s nod to know when to go. When he skated out to center ice during the Sochi shootout, he laughed at himself for nearly feeling tired on the way back to the bench, and said he was "clicking pretty good in shootouts. " Jonathan Quick was the goaltender who "slammed the door" behind him during that run.

Fan reaction and a pivot toward broadcast work

Oshie said he expected few viewers at home because of the hour, but was surprised to learn people were at bars and watching at about 6: 00 a. m. He stopped by Spittin' Chiclets to break down the Olympics, and that appearance — along with discussions about that Sochi shootout — signals the kind of broadcast work the coverage has tied to his name.

On the ice and off it, tj oshie pointed to specific moments: five shootout attempts at the world championships before Sochi, being selected as one of three Olympic shooters, and watching fans react in the early hours as anchors of the story he now revisits publicly.

He remains connected to the 2014 shootout against Russia in Sochi as a defining on-ice moment and is stepping into platforms that let him explain those plays and decisions directly to audiences through broadcast conversations like his Spittin' Chiclets appearance.

His next confirmed public engagement is the Spittin' Chiclets segment where he broke down the Olympics, which reflects the current direction of his off-ice work and the immediate way he is translating that Sochi memory into on-air commentary.
